Dread Machine - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

My future looms

The spectre speaking doom

The feedback loop

It appears when you say its name

It feeds on self awareness and it grows from my carelessness

It's trapped inside, if I let it out it dies

I see disaster from a mile away

I cross my fingers and I try to obey

The rules I said to follow on the eve of attack

I’ve had enough, I want my life back

Got to be careful not to feed

The irrational, insatiable Dread Machine

It's then a ration of panic that waters the seed

The irrational, insatiable Dread Machine

Constant palpitations and my vision blackening

Find the cause, at all cost, searching desperately

I gave it up for knowledge, but I was a cyclops from the start

Running blind, out of time, terror in my heart

I found it once and it decided to stay

The gears are turning, the machine is on its way
